You said this is your home but mentioned the people upstairs. If the upstairs is part of your home, you just tell them to not turn the router off. Without a signal, you can't get on line. Maybe you might try to clarify the circumstances that allow these folks to turn the router off.

Is there more to this story such as it's not your router to control?
